Boulder police: Man spit on bicyclist, threatened him with machete

Boulder police arrested an Erie man who a bicyclist said spit on him and then threatened him with a machete Tuesday, according to a police report.

Mack Daniel Meade, 21, was arrested on suspicion of "flourishing a weapon" and physical harassment, both municipal charges.

According to the report, the victim said he was biking in the area of Broadway and Balsam Avenue at around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday when the passenger in a passing car spit on him.

The cyclist caught up to the car at a red light and began talking to the passenger. The passenger then displayed a machete and said, "Want me to ... chop you up?" before the car left.

Police pulled over a vehicle matching the victim's description of the car. The victim, the driver and two other passengers identified Meade as the person who displayed the machete. All three said they remember seeing him hold up the machete but did not know if he spit on the victim.
